Lots of early holiday presents from Google today. Snapseed, a terrific photo editor for the iPad is now free on iOS (previously $4.99) and also available finally for Android. In addition, Google+ now has "Communities," which are public or private groups designed around common interests like cooking and photography.

Even better news is Snapseed, which was recently bought by Google, has come to Android. The photo editing app helps you apply all sort of filters and effects within minutes. It goes beyond Intagram-like styling to really enhance all or selective parts of a photo. The app also, as you might expect, integrates with Google+ and can use its Instant Upload feature.
